Switching Plans comes out this Friday, March 31. Have you preordered it yet? Well, if you haven’t, this is the week to find out if you’re going to like it or not, because I’ll be bringing you previews of the book so you get a good idea of what’s to come. Today, we meet Kim. In Switching Plans, there are two different scenes you can do with Kim. Here’s part of the one where you’re the top:

You start out spanking Kim pretty darn hard. You’ve never spanked anyone this hard at the outset unless you were giving a punishment, but this is what Kim asked for. Your hand rebounds off her ass with hard whack! sounds, filling your hotel room with the happy noises of spanking.

But, to your surprise, Kim barely reacts. That kind of blows you away; you’re a pretty hard spanker when you want to be, and no one has ever just laid there.

Well, if that’s how Kim wants to play it…

You ratchet up your intensity, literally spanking Kim as hard as you can, your arm swinging in wide arcs, your palm slamming against her backside.

That gets her attention. She starts making noises — happy ones, you think — and you get to work, whack! after whack! making her shift and kick. You understand the concept of heavy bottoms, but you haven’t played with someone who identifies as one since before you and Julie started dating. Julie can take some hard spankings, but never without a warm-up.

Apparently this is Kim’s warm-up.

You consider stopping to check in, but you’re on a roll now, and you’re afraid that, if you stop, you won’t be able to start again. You’re using all of your arm and shoulder muscles, it seems, and you so rarely do so that it’s almost hurting a bit. Plus, your hand is starting to ache too, which, more than anything else, gets you to stop.

Kim is breathing hard. “That hurt,” she says.

“Sorry not sorry.”

“No, don’t apologize. I liked it.”

“Good.” You check Kim’s bottom, and it’s dark pink already. There’s also a spot that feels like the skin’s a little weak, and you’re somewhat concerned you might break it.

But Kim’s not done.

You pick up the heaviest paddle you laid out — it’s basically a school paddle, but without holes. The wood is dark and varnished; it’s as wide across as three of your fingers held side by side, and thick, too. You tap it against Kim’s backside and she wiggles.

Okay. Fine.

Thwack!

“Ow!”

“That’s what I thought.”

You whack her again with the paddle, and again, and she shivers a little, but seems to relax into the spanking.

You can’t have that.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

“Hey!” Kim kicks and pulls, but you hold her in place. “Don’t do that!”

“Why not?”

“Because… because!”

“Yeah. I didn’t think you had a good reason.”

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

“Fuck! Shit! Shit, that’s hard to take!”

“That’s the point.” You check her bottom — it’s quite red now, especially down low, where you’ve been aiming.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

She howls in pain.
